Echolocation: high-frequency component in the click of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena ph. L.)

Møhl, B.; Andersen, S.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (1973)

Besides the already known low‐frequency components of the Phocoena echolocation pulse, a narrow‐band pulse of 0.1‐msec duration, with the main energy between 110 and 150 kHz and a source level…

Observations on distribution and intraspecific variation in pigmentation patterns of Odontocete Cetacea in the western North Atlantic

Mercer, M. C.
J. Fish. Res. Bd. Can. (1973)

This paper comprises sight records for nine species and morphometries, color descriptions, and miscellaneous notes on the food and parasites of seven species of small odontocetes observed from West Greenland…

The rearing of suckling harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)

Andersen, S.H.
Aquatic Mammals (1974)

The rearing of unweaned dolphins has hitherto not been described in literature. In 1973 our laboratory received 2 juvenile harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and we succeeded in rearing them on…

A typical case history of the net-caught harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, from Danish waters

Andersen, S.H.
Aquatic Mammals (1974)

The harbour porpoise and all other cetaceans are totally protected in Danish waters, but not in the waters around Greenland and the Faroe Islands. This means that it is forbidden…

Occupational therapy for harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena

Amundin, M.
Aquatic Mammals (1974)

Two harbour porpoises, a male and a female, both around 10 months old, which had to be left alone for periods between bio-acoustical investigations, developed stereotyped motor patterns and signs…

On the behaviour and study of the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, in the wild

Amundin, M.; Amundin, B.
Investigations on Cetacea (1974)

A pilot study has been carried out in order to obtain information on the observational problems encountered in studying the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the wild. It is concluded…

Functional analysis of the surfacing behaviour in the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena (L.)

Amundin, M.
Zeitschrift für Säugetierkunde (1974)

This study confirms earlier observations of apparently involuntary movements, strongly associated with the breathing. The movements include taxes - a dorsal flexure of the thorax and steering movements with the…

Reproduction and gonads of the black finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides

Harrison, R. J.; McBrearty, D. A.
Investigations on Cetacea (1974)

(...) Six complete [N. phocaenoides] (3 male, 3 female) have been collected in the Karachi Waters and in the Indus Delta Region by G. PILLERI. The testes and ovaries of…
